7/22/24: Brought in a pool slip dated 7/20/24. Checked each plant with a moisture meter, none needed watering. The windows and doors have been installed.

There is a door with a dinged threshold standing in the garage yet. Neither of the garage doors that lead to the interior were locked. I did check all windows and doors and they were locked. The pump motor switch was on, however, both valves were shut off. The door the screen door to the pool was open wide and not shut. I’ve corrected everything mentioned with the exception of putting the furniture back on the lanai. Two reasons for that first is today. I just don’t have the time based up on my schedule and not knowing I had to do this so it wasn’t banked in to my time and I’m not too sure if they don’t need to have better access when they come back to do the County inspection of the new windows and doors? Please advise. One piece of mail looked important. I didn’t open it since it had to do with the Social Security department. Please advise.
